4.7. Server selection

If you selected your card in the previous step, then server selection is easy - just use the recommendation from the database.

If you have a card which uses one of the chipsets for which a specific server exists (Mach8, Mach32, Mach64, AGX/XGA, 8514/A, S3, ET4000/W32, I128, P9000) you'll want to pick the accel option.

Otherwise you'll probably want to use the SVGA server.

Next, answer yes when the program asks if you want it to set the symbolic link for you. If you picked the accel option, you'll also need to indicate which particular accelerated server to link to.
